Why exploring a single street can tell us more about the places we visit than any travel guidebook

Going on a vacation is similar to how we Singaporeans have it built to unwind. We put in a lot of effort before enjoying a relaxing vacation in Japan, South Korea, or wherever we nice.

It was a dream come true for me to host the novel CNA traveling show A Street Like This. I was working but likewise travelling to places I had always wanted to visit: Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Pakistan and India.

However, there was an odd caveat: I was n’t actually exploring these entire nations or regions, but rather particular streets.

Yes, it sounds immoral: You travel hundreds and thousands of yards, book flight reservations and hospitality, do your planning and subsequently spend your vacation walking along only one road?
